Comments Thread For: Santa Cruz Admits Mares Matchup Is "A 50-50" Fight

Even Leo Santa Cruz can’t say for sure who’ll win his fight against Abner Mares on Saturday night in Los Angeles.

Santa Cruz seconded Mares’ promise on a recent conference call that they’ll put on the “Fight of the Year” at Staples Center (ESPN; 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT), yet also acknowledged that their featherweight 12-rounder is a “50-50 fight” that either boxer could win. Mares, meanwhile, predicted he’ll knock out the unbeaten Santa Cruz in the seventh round.

I think at his peak, Mares was a better fighter than Santa Cruz. But, a lotta times when those ballz-2-da-wall brawlers like Abner have their chin cracked yhe way he did, they're never the same. And his comments immediately following the Gonzalez fight have me wondering if he's gonna be one of those guys.
